    Alas i'm out I have to cobble together a bike with gears pronto - my old back is killing me

    CX - is fooked
    Road - ain't going out in this weather
    TT - yeh right... with this wind!
    SS - not if I want to walk again
    MTB - not finished yet and a tad to heavy for 50+miles
    Hybrid - mmmm perhaps not
    Tourer - i'm in the process of fitting new long reach brakes & cables, I like to be able to stop and those oldie brakes caused more than one brown trouser moment, tighten the headset, came loose going downhill :shock:

    Seems I'm lacking a proper winter hack :D oh and a carbon sportive :D
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    No me never, showing off would be walking around in a t-shirt and shorts showing my awesome tan whilst still pretending that I can still feel my fingers & toes.

    I'm merely saying it's shocking that I have so many bikes and none ride-able in this weather, oh! and I have an awesome tan :wink:

    That is all carry on....

    I'm tempted to come down but more tempted to stay up this way and drink beer that is free.

    Just in the process of wrapping up Stylo video. It looks nice.

    Not particularly... just think it's a good idea, especially as glutony is one of my main sins most of the year.

    I could pop in for one or two but will need to exercise restraint / moderation (two things that emphatically do not come naturally) with regard to the ingestion of beer or else my ride to Salisbury in the morning will be a LOT harder.
